BOARD OF HEALTH.
/ Salary of President 81 900.
Rep. Daniels moved the item be stricken
out
Minister Thurston moved it pass for the
reasons he had previously stated.
Noble Smith asked if the 81, 900 was for
one quarters salary, as that would be at
the rate of $8, 900 year.
Minister Thurston said the salary was to
be 81, 900 year. The President took Office
October 1st. and the $1,000 would be salary
from then to March 81, 1887.
Noble Wight asked if one of the duties OF
the President would be to travel around
the islands and look after the physicians
and the gathering in of lepers.
Minister Thurston said it would
Noble Castle asked if he was to devote his
entire time to the work.
Minister Thurston said that was the in
tention, though it was not so stated.
Rep. Helekunihi objected to passing the
appropriation, as he did not believe IN pay
ing the President. He did not think he
would do his work any better for being paid
Rep. Kinney moved to insert after 81 ,00C
the words provided the incumbent en-
cages in no other occupation for pay" He
had conversation with the President the
other day, and would say that he is en-
gagged as physician at the Lunalilo Home.
He could not attend properly to his duties
as President if he held that position. 1t
might be necessary to give larger salary
to geta good man, and he would favor that.
Rep Kamuoha asked if there was an UNI
derstanding that the salary should com
mence October 1st.
Minister Thurston said there was if the
Legislature passed the item.
Rep. Kamuoha then moved the item pass
at 81 900.
Rep. Paris said he voted the other day
for salary for President of the Board OF
Health. If he is to engage in private prac.
tice as well he would vote against it. The
President should give his entire attention
to the work.
Noble Smith was sorry Rep. Kinney's
amendment had been brought in. This
would shut him out entirely from private
practice. With regard to the Lunalilc
Home, the Trustees would have to get an.
other physician. The amendment is an
unnecessary and harsh restriction. Other
Government officers are not so restricted
with the exception of the Auditor General
Rep. Kauhane was in favor of passing
the item without restriction. The man
who takes an interest in his work is the
one wanted to fill the position.
Rep. Kauhi would ask if by paying 9
salary to the President, it would prevent
the spread of leprosy. He would say, no
AS he said the other day, not until the
ocean covered these islands would leprosy
be stamped out. With regard to the salary
of $4,000 to be paid the President, the bes
way to get rid of it was for committee O
five to take it and throw it outside the reef
